A LIE FOR MONEY.

Ii has been announced a number OF times
that the Rock Island road was not to be
built south Of the main line Of the Santa
Fee On the other hand Mr.. Ewing, the
right of way agent of the road, paid out
81, 600 for land in Lincoln township, Sedg-
wick county, Tuesday. This settles that
question Republican.
Only lot of gullable fools ever asserted
that the Rock Island wouldn't come south.
1t was first promulgated by town not far
distant from Wichita, which town had
been made to swallow the stuff by a lot of
fellows inside of the Santa Fe corporation.
The writer of this and Rock Island Off
cial were laughing together over the matter
the next day after the thing had been
fioated. The truth is the Rock Island
crossed the Missouri river TO make Wichita
as one point and to make the south
lire Of tie state where the 101 meridian
crosses it as another. No other points
were absolutely fixed upon, not even
Topeka One other thing. The Rock
Island people are people Of honor-being
neither sharks nor SPECTATORS. When
the Omaha, Abilene and Wichita line was
acquired by that corporation, the repre-
sentatives Of that road gave their word and
h onor that they would not only come TO
Wichita without fail, but that every reas-
enable promise made by the o., A. & v.
corporation should be carried out.
The Rock Island train will be running
directly from Chicago to Wichita before
the leaves fall in 1887.

WESTERN RESERVE" OF KANSAS,

from the Garnden City Daily Sentinel
Southwestern Kansas is an immense erea
of glorious possibilities and magnificent
probabilities. The country lying west of
the sixth principal meridian is an infant
empire of great promise and of certain full
fillment, But few years ago this section
of Kansas was regarded as waste of sand.
with widely separated punched of buffalo
grass, good for nothing but grazing pur-
poses, and not worth much for that. Today
way ont to the Colorado line it is fertile
country, better settled in proportion to its
age than the eastern half of the state and
developing as fast as prairie schooners and
railway trains can hurry thither with their
burdens of home seekers. Farms as fine
as may be found anywhere are scattered
thick all over this region. Towns are
springing up as if by magic, and the stakes
IN southwestern Kansas are driven for per
manency. The tide of population will
nevee again recede from southwestern
Kansas. Those who are settled here now,
and the thousands who will this year locate
regenerate and transform, by the dint of
brave and persistent husbandry, this most
beautiful part Of Kansas into a veritable
equal area in the United States, if indeed
anywhere in the world. that has such a
magnificent topography. and such surface
beauty IS southwestern Kansas
The counties Of Lane. Ness, Scott,
Wichita, Greeley, Finney, Ford, Hamil-
ton, Hodgeman, Clark, Seward, Stevens
and Morton are the garden spots of Kan
sas. The soil is rich and deep, and under
the skilful manipulation of the farmers at
present residing there, when the railroads
already projected throughout these coun-
ties, and others certain to follow, are built.
the prosperity, influence and political pow
er of this region can scarcely be estimated. |
The Sentinel makes the prediction that
within the next ten years at the outside
western Kansas will be to the balance of
the state in all respects what the western
reserve of Ohio is to all the balance Of that |
great state.
